Eastern are notorious at not responding to CV's or even e-mails when it comes to flight crew recruitment. Don't lose heart though - keep trying!

Firstly, I fully appreciate the point that you made and I do understand the predicament that BACX J41 crew are in. The sink or swim attitude is far from ideal but one must take into account that Eastern are a small regional airline and not the largest regional airline in Europe as is the case with BACX. Naturally some drop in pay and conditions has to be expected! If you had BACX J41 crew being employed by Eastern on their previous BACX terms and conditions then can you imagine the potential problems that could be caused amongst the Eastern flight deck community? You could have a senior BACX F/O leave to Eastern and sit in the right seat and be earning more then a junior Eastern Captain! If I was that Eastern captain then I would be a bit hacked off at seeing a new F/O join the company and automatically take home more than I would after I waited in the right seat until my name moved up the seniority list etc etc! It would be nice to see BACX crews getting a fair deal but sadly it does not look very hopeful!
